In one embodiment lateral movement of the laminate is detected by an arm 9 which controls a double-acting cylinder 11 connected to the frame 7, the latter being mounted in linear ball races 8. Alternatively the adjustment of the frame is effected by an hydraulic, pneumatic, electric or fluidic system. If the laminate includes a profiled lower surface the arm 9 may carry a wheel adapted to run along a groove or ridge in that surface. |
